Tii. ■■>...< r,l of K.t.r commissioners ha&.ad&pted the form of latter to the public anent the water bond election, i-i -ntly drawn up by the seneral man. niter end Councilman Hancock, ex- ulliclo member of the board. I'rlntcd copies of this letter will be nulled to the voters. In order that they nay bn familiarised with the needs of I hr water deportment and may know to what uae the money, acnulred bvtha tuup.nre of bonds, will be put. The Inter la aa follows: An Important and Interesting address hj« been prepared by the board of water commissioners to the people of Atlanta, giving reasons why there mould he n bond Issue for the water works department. At a meeting of the board yesterday afternoon the address which had been prepared by a special committee was read, unanimously approved and signed. The address bears the signature of 'very member of the water board, and la aa follows: To the Public: The question of Issu ing bonds for Improvements In the waterworks system of Atlanta Is now before the public for their decision. The waterworks le the proiierty of the people, and every clllsen of Atlanta Is equally Interested In Its surress or failure. The board of water commis sioners. who manage this property, are but the representatives of the people, end being responsible for Its proper manigement, deem It their duty to lay before the people the present condition of the system, and to state what they conceive In their Judrment to be the necessity for certain Improvements and additions to put the works In a con dition to meet the present and future demands upon It. To begin With, the works were never built With a view of supplying with water, a city of the present slie of At lanta. and no provision was made to meet the Increased growth of the city The present consumption of water It about all the works can now reason ably take cere of. Should, the con sumption of water In 1M7 Increase over the consumption of'1401, aa 1404 did over 1405. It would be a serious question whether we could meet -the demand with our present facilities. In that estent It would bacoma necessary to slop tapping and supplying water to new consumers, and possibly ba com pelled to rut off all outside consumers of water, so ae to enable the depart ment to furnish water for domestic, manufacturing, fire and eanlUty pur poses within the city limits. Such a course may become necessary, and the people should be made acquainted with the facts aa they exist. What Improvements Are Necessary. To put the eyetem In proper condi tion. the following Improvements are absolutely necessary: 1. The first and most Importsnt Is an additional force main from the rlvsr to the reservoir of at least 44 Inches In diameter. The reason for this sddltlona! mein Is thst there le but one 10-Inch mein now that supplies the reservoir, and with the pumpa at the river run ning contlntiouely, day and night, they HALF-OFF ON OVERCOATS This reduction only includes the 3-4 length fancy coats with velvet collars. The styles are good and will continue so, but on account of being classed as novelties we had rather sacri fice now than show them an other season. Staple overcoats are 1-4 off—and so are suits, both staple and fancy. Levy & Stanford, 17 Peachtree can just keep the reservoir full, the pumpa at the Inner station tako It out during (he day faster than dt can be put In. During the night, when the consumption In the city falls off. we manage tn catch up what was lost dur- Ing the day. This ran not last long, for when we are unable to put a* much water In the reservoir aa I* taken out of It. the supply to the city will have to be curtailed somehow. The coet of this main will be approximately 4175.000. 4. The second necessity. If the people want clear water, le an additional coag ulating beam. We have one now, but the consumption In the city la so great, and the water goes through this basin ao rapidly, that It glvas no time for proper coagulation and sedimentation, and will result In water being deliver ed to ihe filters In auch a condition that II will be Impossible for the filters to remove the mud out of It before It Is pumped Into the city. The coat of this basin will be approximately $44,(WO 4. The third necessity le a second clear-water basin. The second reason for this le that It often becomes nec essary to clean out the present basin, and when we do the muddy water le pumped directly from the coagulating basin Into the city without being -fil tered. With an additional clear-wator basin we could clean out either one or the other without pumping muddy or unflllrred water Inlo Ihe city. The cost of this basin will be approxi mately 440.000. . , 4. The fourth ns easelty is additional filters. The present filtering capacity la rated at 7,000,000 gallons In twenty- four hours: we often filter at tha rate of over 30,000,000 gallons In twenty- four hours, and but for tho great as sistance of (he coagulating basin, which removes 40 per cent of the mud from the water, we would have had muddy water all last summer, the removal of the mud by the coagulating basin en abled the flltere to do thle work, but there Is a limit to their capacity, even with all the mud removed, and that limit hat been reached, the coloring or suspended matter In the water ran only bo removed by the flltere. The cost of adding 4.000.000 gallons dally rapacity to the flltere will be approx imately 450.000. 5. The fifth necessity Is an additional pump at our No. 4 pumping station. This Is the station which pumpa tha water into (he city. We now hava three pumps at this station—one 16,000.000- gallon. and two 10,000,040-gallon pumpa. The reason for this additional pump le. that as It now stands an so. cldent to our 11,046.000-gallnn pump, which would pul It out of service at any lime, and especially during a big fire, would seriously cripple ue. as It would be Impossible to girt fire pres sure with the two emaller pumps dur ing Ihe day. This hat already hap pened on severe! occasion!, but for tunately the fire department did not need the pressure on either occasion. During the day now we are compelled to run the big pump and one of (he smaller ones continuously, and If the demand for water Increases much more. e will be compelled (o run all three of the pumps at this station during the day. This would leave ue without nny reserve In rate of accident to either of the pumps. Accidents to ma chinery Is nothing unusual, and In this case would be exceedingly unfortunate ami perhaps falsi. It w|ll take fion) twelve m eighteen months to build and Instsl n pump at this station. The ap proximate cost of tha pump required would be 1145.000. it. The addition of another pump will i require nn additional battery of holt* i ere. which will rust approximately I IT.noit. The intake and overflow towers . .. I pipe connections for new ressrvolrj to present reservoir and coagulating: hatdn will cost not leas than *45.004. 8. The demands for water mains In | he city are exceedingly pressing, and pplteatlnns are now on file for over ten miles of small malna. These peo- j pi. a fa tax payers and ‘-milled to havej vxat. r.

In 1444 the people voted 4444.440 ot bonds for waterworks. This was re duced by action of council to 1150.040. and the funds arising from this bond Issue wee required to be used in laying email maine within tha city limits. We laid 41 miles of email pipe during 140.1 and 1444 out of the funds arising from the sale of these bonds. Had the original amount ot bonds votad by the people been Issued the people would not be called on no* tn vote 1540.000 for waterworks Improve ments. and the board would have been able to buy the main from tha rlvsr to the reservoir, anil many more miles of small pipe- There are many sections ot the city that are clamoring for water, and their ne*da are Imperative, especially In tha Third, Fourth, Fifth and Seventh wards Thaaa people should be aup- plled—they are tax-payers and are aa much entitled to derive the benefit of our weter eyaietn aa thalr mors (ertu- mum UNCHUSTA BURLAPS PLATE-RAIL CHAIR-RAIL ROOM MO0LDIN6 LARGE ASSORTMENT.
